Using the virtual remote, you can not only change channels but also access shows recorded on the integrated DVR, or even Comcast’s on-demand content. What I really like about the Vulkano system is that it lets you watch pretty much anything you could see sitting in front of your TV. If you get record-happy, don’t worry-you’ll get a warning that you have insufficient memory.

On iOS, it records as an H.264+AAC MP4 file, at either 640-by-480 or 352-by-240 resolution.

The app adds full DVR capabilities, so you can pause, rewind, and fast-forward through video you’ve recorded. This is available first on the iPhone and iPad, and is coming soon for Android. The player app now allows recording directly to a mobile device. The players show you what sort of speed they’re getting, and when the video can play at roughly 400 kpbs or faster, it was at least watchable if not surprisingly good. It was generally good with Wi-Fi, but over AT&T’s 3G network, I sometimes got messages saying there wasn’t enough bandwidth for video (in which case the player simply provided audio without images until it was able to add the video). With my iPhone, quality varied widely depending on the quality of my data connection. Once video playback began, however, the quality was quite good on the shows I watched on a notebook PC and on my iPad over a hotel Wi-Fi connection. Also, you can still enjoy the superior quality of digital video once you finish the setup routine: Simply keep the HDMI connection between the set-top box and the TV, and use the HDMI input as the TV’s video source.

Check your set’s manual to see if there should be one kicking around someplace, or pay a few dollars to get the second set of cables.

So you’re on your own for finding another set of analog cables that match the ones you use to connect the Flow to the set-top box (the instructions say the two sets of cables must be the same).Īside from the setup guide’s failure to address this issue, however, the lack of a second set of analog cables may not be as stingy as it sounds: Many HDTVs do come with component cables that sit unused because HDMI does deliver superior quality. The quick setup guide blithely declares that you can use the same cables you previously used to connect the set-top box directly to the TV, but if you have been using an HDMI cable, you can’t do this-the Flow has no HDMI port (as did the Deluxe). You must provide your own cables for connecting the Flow to the HDTV.

Component video, which uses three separate cables, delivers the best quality analog connection composite video carries all the image info on a single cable and isn’t quite as good. It comes with cables to connect to a set-top box’s analog outputs for either component or composite video, and for stereo audio. Like its predecessors, the Vulkano Flow is a black, keyboard-sized slab. The Mac and PC players are free, but you have to pay $13 for the Vulkano Player for Flow and Blast iOS app, as well as apps on other platforms.

Like the more full-featured (and pricey) Vulkano Deluxe ( ) I reviewed earlier this year, the Flow works by intercepting the video stream that travels between your cable or satellite box and your HDTV, and making it available via the Internet to player software that you can download and install on a PC, Mac, smartphone, or tablet. But you have to accept some image quality compromises, and its controls for remote access generally work extremely slowly. One of Monsoon Multimedia’s latest offerings in this category, the Vulkano Flow, costs $100 (as of ), supports high-def video, and works pretty well if your remote broadband connection meets its modest bandwidth demands. If you’ve ever spent any time channel surfing in a hotel room, chances are you’ll immediately see the appeal of place-shifting technology, which allows you to watch your home TV programs remotely by streaming them over the Internet to a PC, Mac, or smartphone.
